I initially set up in the Solent but very quickly realise the weed and conditions are going to make for poor fishing. I lift the anchor and set off for deep open water and a mark given to me by “right-on rocket Ron” with the promise of Bull Huss and a mixed bag.
The tip proved to be spot on with some unusual catches as I fish into darkness.
The evening culminating in a surprise catch right at the end whilst packing away.
Fishing with 4 rods split between 2 x 50lb and 2 x 20/30lb Ugly Stik fitted with TLD 20's & Daiwa sl30sh's respectively.
Rigs in this session are running ledgers with either wire tipped or full mono snoods.

Tackle box stickers are available through my Facebook page and details on price and ordering can be found there.
The Warrior 165 is a perfect fishing boat for UK inshore waters and balances size, weight, capability and performance in a compact and manageable package. A fuel burn at cruising speed (18 knots) of 0.8litre/Nm solo with fishing kit. I generally calculate 1 litre/Nm to allow for weather conditions and tide.
Easily launched solo from a sheltered slipway or with 2 from a more technical launch and very predictable characteristics out on the water. Trim is important and molly-moo has the factory additional 5 degree trim plate.
Anchoring can be carried out through the forward hatch but I prefer in most cases to anchor from the Stbd aft corner using a lazy line connected fwd. An Alderney retrieval including ring, A2 buoy and triangle make for an easy evolution.
